I haven’t been able to delete a user from CLI, I’m getting this error: “Unable to find user ‘szuniga’”. I’m using this command:  
./mattermost user delete szuniga

#### More information

- User is currently disabled
- Mattermost version: 5.7.1 (Team Edition)

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks,

Hi @bbarrios, there may have been a bug that we’ve since fixed. Would you be able to upgrade your server?

Hello @amy.blais. Yes, I could upgrade during the weekend maybe sunday. I’ll do so and get back to this thread for feedback. Thank you.

Hi @amy.blais, I recently upgraded to version 5.13.1 and was able to delete the user. Thank you for the suggestion.
